The stitch finally popped! Yay :D

I'm 31 days post-op, and the stitch in my muscle on my right side has finally popped...at least I think that's what it was. Anyway, the point of all this is: No more pain!

Woohoo!

Can you describe this feeling?! I'm only 5 days PO And felt like a bubble popped on my right side with a warm running sensation?! Could this be similar to yours, but earlier?!

I went to sit up from the couch I was on and there was just a painless and smooth feeling of release on my abdomen, and after that I wasn't in any more pain.

I'm 4 weeks post-op, so it might not be the same thing you had as your stitches aren't healed yet.

Mine popped Wed at about 3 weeks PO. I was in the motion of sitting down and I felt a pinch then all of the pressure release and actually heard a loud pop. It was awesome because I was still having to put he heating pad on it a night. After that I did not have any more pain. I was sore there for a couple of days but now when I sit, walk, bend over or anything else I don't have pain :)

That's great! I was hoping it wouldn't take that long. A month is a long time to feel the burning, pinching pain. At least there is an end to it in sight.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
